A panel of scientists has presented the United Nations a detailed plan for combating climate change.

“The panel’s recommendations include a series of steps to cut the rate at which temperatures are rising. Chief among them are a global agreement on an acceptable ceiling for temperature rise and finding ways of adapting to cope with the damage already done.” It also calls for a global tax on greenhouse gas emissions.

A global tax, the proceeds of which go to ...? Not the UN one would hope. (Pajamas Media)
